The total being spent in this area in 2010 was just under €70,000 which dropped to just over €50,000 in 2012. That is a considerable drop. That has come from a mixture of the kind of work about which Ms O'Donoghue was talking, where officials look at different practices and investigate why they are happening, but is it also because of what the Department's fraud and detection unit has been doing also?
